I could possibly accept that if the reverse was also true. If I only have a few minutes, I usually use WinMoSquare first b/c even if I know the App itself is slower and harder to use, I know I will be able to check in right away.

Also, GMaps on my pone never gets it wrong. I know you said you don't have access to their API, but the core data for all apps has to be coming from the same basic places.

But again, I'd be happy if their was just a way to override the GPS data, and be able to enter my own City/St. Even the Foursquare website allows for that.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] HogCall:
BTW, just went and tested something. Pulled up MySquare and it said I was in "New Hampshire". Did a refresh, and it says "Oceanside-Escondido, Vista". Went to Foursquare, and it says I am in "Vista, CA".

Updated location on FSQ website, went back to MySquare and did a refresh, and it still has me in the Vista location. Refreshed FSQ website, and I am also back in Vista, CA.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] HogCall:
Just now went to WinMoSquare, and it had me in the correct location by search results. Was able to check in to my company. Went to FSQ website, and now City, St is correct again. Went back to MySquare and did a refresh..... but still in the Vista location. grrr
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] junalmeida:
If it is slower, than it takes more time with GPS on to actually do the search.

About gmaps, the core data is not the same. There are a plenty of ways to triangulate, and a plenty of cell-id databases to achieve this.

About the city, the web site is able to do this, but there is a side-effect. When you set your city and check-in on the web, foursquare does not count mayorship's and some other things. And if you can check out the official apps (iPhone, Android, etc), they do not provide any way to change the city manually. And this feature is not available on the current sdk.

Be aware that you are not the only one complaining about mis-locations. But it works for most of people. A long time ago, when I was developing the location services of mysquare, I found people complaining about mis-location with the official apps.

I also noticed people complaining about mis-locations, and after a new release, they told me: it works now. And surprise: I haven't touched any code of the location feature.

These "bugs" of the location service seems to be completely random, affected by esoteric conditions.

So, mysq is designed to locate you precisely if, and only if, you have full bars of GPS.

:)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] HogCall:
Well, like I said, even with full bars it is often wrong. And when it is wrong, it is impossible to use.

I understand not wanting to put any time or resources into making this significantly better, considering it is a dying OS. In fact, I will probably be switching to Android soon enough myself.

But I'm just letting you know what my issue is, and that I would have purchased the Premium version months ago if I thought I could count on the App, b/c quality wise it kicks WinMoSquare's ass. As it is, I'd say I have about a 30% success rate, if that, while I have about a 95% success rate on WinMoSquare (it just takes me 3 times as long).

If you were to work on it, I would suggest letting someone override their current location and looking up the GPS coordinates by that location. Then have a way to "release" that location and go back to GPS settings. Honestly, seems like it would be rather easy to do this, but still may not be worth it on this OS.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] :
Thanks for info about working on update.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] junalmeida:
Right, but you are the first that complain with mis-location with full bars. Maybe something wrong with your device, or maybe the other app is using other resources (maybe wifi triangulation) or simply no information about location. Sincerely I don't know.

But allowing the user to choose a city seems to be cheating the gps and foursquare as it is.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] staurakis:
um...if i may say my opinion, from what I have understood, MySquare tries to locate you using either the GPS device, phone (antenna location) or WiFi location. In my occasion it gives a very precise location depending on the above connection. But even though some times mobile provider's antenna is far away, I can always search the place I want to check in and find my place very fast and check in. There is a minor bug in search but it is really not that big thing and there is a very easy workaround.... :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] junalmeida:
You're right, but i understood that there is a few, very few cases that the location is very VERY wrong, sometimes locates you in other city, province, or country.

One day during personal tests, i was located at São Paulo (i live at Rio de Janeiro). I was investigating logs, and gps was not available, google databases does not know current cell id, opencellid either, wifi was off and then, mysquare tryes GeoIP. And my network assigned me an ip of another state.

But a simply refresh solved the problem.

The problem is that with few people, this situation happens very often.

HogCall i forgot to ask you: is your device GSM or CDMA?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mike2nl:
Hi junalmeida,

i see you are allways here on XDA. I came along your app by surfing around the world. I am one of the first users of your app. Wow, it is still alive

Hope you will support it further, and Thank You for your work. I hope i will find back my old account data. Because they are lost on my older TP2 :D.

Check Ins not posted on facebook

Hello again, I seem to have a problem since two days ago. So, everywhere I check in it is not posted on my facebook profile as it is used to. It is correctly published on my twitter profile but not on facebook.

Any ideas of what could have gone wrong, or do to fix this?

Thank you very much in advance for your help.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nathanpc:
Congratulations. A great piece of work man
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] OrpyDave:
Odd, I don't publish much to FB these days, but in checking your problem out, I've noticed my one is doing exactly the same too.

Dave
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] staurakis:
ok on foursquare facebook group it seems that many people have this problem. It also seems that it is a facebook issue trying to promote it's related application "places". So one solution is suggested is to unlink and relink fb connection from foursquare site (after you have logged in).

I have done it but not tested it yet. I will keep you posted :)

EDIT:

OK it worked. Issue is solved although I have noticed another thing. The "ticks" that specify if the check in is to be published or not were not fully black but grey (white inside the actual tick). I had to press them (untick) and then press again to be full black (solid back tick) in order to be published.

So, to conclude, I don't know which thing fixed it but it is working ok now :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] louis0815:
The "grey" ticks usually read the settings of your 4sq profile and act accordingly; if you set "update FB" on 4sq, MySquare should do the same with grey or solid tick. In other words: "grey" ticks are (supposed to be) a kind of automatic mode for your updates.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] devoll:
I purchased premium a fews hours ago via PayPal, but it didn't give me a link to download, or an email with instructions. How do I go about downloading it?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] osiedacz:
Same download as the trial or free version, but when you open the program it will recognize your email address as the one you purchased the program with and enable the premium features.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] devoll:
That did the trick. Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] junalmeida:
Hi people.

MySquare servers are experiencing a huge loading today. I have already opened a support ticket about this, I'm waiting for a solution.

Sorry for any inconvenience.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mi.lli:
If I would have a perfect working app on my wm6.5 i maybe would use the official places more than i do now!

I also face the problems in publishing my logs on the facebook site.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] junalmeida:
Try to disconnect and reconnect your facebook account using foursquare account settings: https://foursquare.com/facebookconnect

You can also check the sharing options like

> By default, share my check-ins to Facebook

> Share the Mayorships I earn to Facebook

> Share my new badges to Facebook
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] JVH3:
I had run into this about 2 months ago after changing my facebook password. FourSquare could not update my facebook status. Then about a month ago, I did what you just posted and it was able to update facebook again.

So basically if you ever change your facebook password, you probably need to do this too. It would be nice if the app could take care of it, but it's not too big of deal.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] osiedacz:
I've run into this too if I have to log into my FB account on a strange computer and FB puts me through the identity challenge questions. Seems to stop Foursquare from posting updates on the FB page until I boot the application and relink from the Foursquare website.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] staurakis:
In any case re-linking seems to be the solution to this issue whichever the cause is. :)

"Get Notified" Functionality

Hello all,

is "get notified" functionality is working for anyone?

I have tested it and my friends get notified when I check in somewhere but I cannot seem to get me notified when I select this option when they check in somewhere? Any ideas/help?

Thank in advance :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Smailtronic:
Thanks for the app Marcos; I've been using it happily for quite some time now. Are there any plans to upgrade MySquare to version 2 of the foursquare API? Today I got the notification about it, and would hate to lose access to 4sq on my WinMo phone.

http://aboutfoursquare.com/foursquare-begins-warning-users-of-impending-shutdown-of-api-v1/
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Holmes99:
Thanks for the app, it's hard to find any good one for WM6.

I didn't understand how it uses wifi to get my coordinates: it only try to connect wifi the first time after I reboot my device (Asus P535) either I turned wifi on or not. But later it does not: only tries to use GPS or IP. GPS is not available in the buildings and IP shows only the City where I am, but not a real place, that wifi location method does very good.

Does anybody know how to fix it (always use wifi data if it's available for positioning).

P.S. I have a free version of the app.

P.P.S. GSM location method is not avaliable on this device.

Push notifications

Any answers? Do push notifications work for anyone? Thanks in advance for the help.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] m0dcm:
I've had the same notification via Twitter, and I'm loving MySquare v1.4.1 a lot. I was going to purchase the Premium version of MySquare last week, but after getting these notifications, I'm not going to pay for it till an upgrade has come along, which I hope is soon???? and then I shall spend $5.99

So are there developers of MySquare reading this thread or has it gone stagnant and we who use the app are going to be left high and dry without an app for WinMo 6.5?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dwarfinaction:
I agree with m0dcm, not having a decent app for WinMo 6.5 would really hurt. therefore, if the developer should upgrade the program to the new API, I would gladly spend the $ 5.99 in order to continue using the app!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] staurakis:
1st of August is near

Hello,

1st of August is quite near. Foursquare has announced a long time ago that it will officially shut down on this date. Will we have a new application that supports API 2 by then?

Thanks in advance for the answer.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dwarfinaction:
I'm afraid we'll be screwed :(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] staurakis:
On 9th May 2011, 08:41 PM the developer of the app said:

"

Hi people, MySquare is not discontinued.

I'm aware about foursquare recent changes, that apparently was not backward compatible.

I'm working to fix it on both free and premium versions and you all will be notified through the OTA update on the app.

I have no ETA yet.

Stay tuned.

"

So let's cross our fingers and wait for his answer :)

I have purchased the premium services and I wouldn't like to see this great app discontinued! It would be awful for the OS as well.....
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] osiedacz:
I agree, I hope this app will continue.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] junalmeida:
Hi,

Many are asking me through private messages about MySquare support of v2 API.

What I have to say (again) is that it's currently in progress. But i'm not sure that I can finish until the short target that foursquare.com gave to me.

I'm a registered developer of foursquare.com and they did not mail or alert me about the v1 shutdown.

Anyway, i'm doing my best...

Regards :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] osiedacz:
Hey, thank you for the update. I think we can all understand if you can't get it done by their deadline. I for one just really appreciate that you are working at it at all. So thank you. I look forward to your new release when you have it ready for us.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dwarfinaction:
That's great news, thank you in advance for the efforts! :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] m0dcm:
Yeah I also say thanks, and I know what it's like working to a deadline, I used to write software in Visual Basic, but with health problems now, I've taken a back seat.

Don't worry if you cannot get this update sorted by 1st August, and don't over do it, as this is how mistakes are made!! Keep up the good work, and look forward to seeing an update soon.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] m0dcm:
One thing I forgot to add in my last post....

If you need any extra beta testers for v2 then I'd be happy to help!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Smailtronic:
Is anybody else no longer receiving badge notifications through MySquare? Up until about a month ago, I received the little badge image and unlock text after I checked in, but since mid-June, that has not been the case. I still see the mayorship badge/logo and info when I gain a mayorship, but that's it. For actual badges (Harry Potter, Ten Hundred, etc) I only find out I unlocked the badge after the fact, when I look at my badges on the foursquare website.

Hopefully this will also be ironed out in the new update.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] m0dcm:
I've also got this problem, as I've only just recently started running MySquare and noticed the 2 new badges I've earned aren't showing either. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the new API Login is sorted first though, and then the other/minor bugs get fixed after.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] junalmeida:
It's time to test the v2 alpha.

If you want to participate on testings and blame me for bugs :rolleyes: pvt me with your personal email.

This is the first stage of the v2, the alpha test rolls only with chosen ones. If no mayor bugs, i'll release a public beta.

Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] m0dcm:
Will be nice to see it, and I'll look forward to using it....
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] m0dcm:
How is the Alpha shaping up? I did put my name forward to test it.

Is it logging in correctly, and displaying the vital statistics?

Unable to post check-in to twitter and facebook

When the apps prompt me to upgrade to v2.0, so I upgraded it. Then after that, I'm unable to post my check-in to twitter and facebook. I've tried to unlink both of them through foursquare settings page and it's still not working. Any help?

Thanks in advance.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] staurakis:
Hello, which application/version are you using?

EDIT: one more thing, the unlick action should be done from facebook and twitter not only from foursquare.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wllaw2:
I'm using the MySquare version 2.0.0

Yeap, I did that. I unlinked through foursquare and through facebook and twitter applications settings. I can now post check-in to facebook after several connect and disconnect. The only problem now is with Twitter, unable to post check-in to twitter even though after I unlinked them and linked them back again. :(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] staurakis:
Have you tried to make the tick bold? Could you try this as well and let us know? I have just checked it and works perfectly when you do this.....

Without it (by letting the default symbol) I think you are right there was an issue to me as well with twitter but I hadn't noticed until now. When you do this (untick and make the tick bold) it works correctly.

I will then test if now it posts the information by just having the default tick (grey) :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wllaw2:
Wow... great observations. I didn't notice the tick has two colors, grey and black.

Yeap, it works perfectly when you change the tick to bold. :)

Thanks a lot for the help.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] staurakis:
Always welcome :) Glad I helped solve this :)

I will also test it now with grey and see if it is now permanently fixed after this "workaround" :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] m0dcm:
Just paid for the Premium edition of MySquare and was amazed how quick it activated and let me take the adverts off!! What a Awesome piece of software, I'm always using it now in conjunction with Twitter and Facebook.

The 2.0 version did not work on my Samsung Omnia 2.

The 1.4 version stop functioning, may I know why?

Thanks alot
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] treznor70:
Version 1.4.1 stopped working because it used v1 of the Foursquare API, which Foursquare stated a couple of months ago would stop working on August 1. You should have a shout in your Friends list (stuck at the top) from 'Jimmy Foursquare' saying that for at least a month now I believe.

No ideas why v2 doesn't work on your phone, sorry. Just wanted to let you know why people were forced to upgrade to v2.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] osiedacz:
I may be off on my info and dates here, but I believe v1.4 was built on an API that Foursquare stopped supporting at the end of July. That was the reason for v2 being created. v2 is still very early and I would expect it to evolve over the next couple weeks. I am running v2 on my HD2 and it mostly works like 1.4 used to. Except for the above mentioned issue with having to check the facebook box with a dark check in order to get it to post.

Cannot access setup file for MySquare cab file on HTC Pure

Hi,

I mistakenly erased my MySquare app for my HTC pure recently, and have been having a very hard time getting the cab file from the Rising Mobility website to open and download on my phone. I am running Windows 6.5 and have .Net Compact Framework 3.5, as required. Whenever I go to the file explorer and click the setup file, my web browser opens, but the page remains blank.

Any tips on getting the cab files to download, or is there a more direct way to download the app than the cab files?

Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] junalmeida:
You can always download with this direct link: http://risingmobility.com/mysquare/latest.axd/mysquare.cab

This app is also on pocket pc download sites. If you have an older version running, you can use the auto-update feature.

Hey Everyone,

Just to say thanks to the dev for this AWESOME app, I've updated to v2.0.1 on my HTC HD2 and it works great!! I'm always using it, especially as my wife can keep track of me when I'm out and about, as I'm disabled.

Keep up the good work, and who needs Google+, just another Social Network thing to jump on the band wagon!!! I regularly use Twitter and FB, thats enough for me :-D

FB Posting Works!

2.0.1 did the trick, FB posting works everytime now. Thank you for the update.

Now that the "Here" tab on a venue works again (it didn't for the last couple month of 1.4.1), I notice a little bug where the time is off by 1 hour. My theory is that MySquare doesn't understand daylight savings time? If I check in and go directly to the "Here" tab, it says that I checked in an hour ago.

Upload Photo

I hope someday this application will be able to upload photo too.

:)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] m0dcm:
It would be nice to have Photo Upload on MySquare, but how difficult it would be to code it to access the camera is unknown to me, I wonder if the developer has thought about this?

I'm just loving the app, and being a premium user now too I'm doing my bit to help towards future developments....
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] JVH3:
It would not need to access the camera.

It would only need to be able to upload a picture that was already taken. Windows Mobile is multi threaded, so you can always launch the camera. I launch mine with a long press of the PTT button, but it can also be launched off the start menu. Take the picture. close the camera. You would be right back in the four square app.

Most pictures would need to be compressed first though.

On Sony Ericsson Aspen M1a, with WinMo 6.5.3 and .net 3.5 preinstalled, the app run fine, the ads is working y thats things. BUT when i try to do "check-in", and i start to write in the frame, the app crash and show this message: "unknown error: exception ...".

Please, fix it for the last generation of users of windows mobile.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] staurakis:
Hello, have you tried to reboot and also restart the application?

Is it something that it happens all the time?

I am asking because it also produced me an exception at some point, but after a reboot or a restart it didn't produce it anymore.

Furthermore, if it always happens (it is a consistent error) it will be more easier to reproduce and thus for the developer to solve it :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tskok:

You have to copy the exact URL of the redirection to a PC or another browser on your PDA (sometimes this would also work).

In my case, the copy of the URL to the PC browser worked :)
